JUSTICE FARUK BUNZA’S CHILLING ACCOUNT AFTER ESCAPING CAPTIVITY

Justice Faruk Hassan Bunza of the Kebbi State High Court has narrated what he went through after bandits abducted him and took him into the bush.

He said five armed men came to kidnap him, and he followed them without resisting. They moved east through a road behind nearby houses before forcing him to trek about 25 kilometres barefoot to the Dutsen Bandan camp.

At the camp, he met two other kidnapped Fulani men. The following day, the bandits showed him photographs of him and the Chairman of Bungudu LGA in Zamfara State, Nura Umar Abdullahi. They told him they had been ordered to kidnap both men, although they did not say who gave the order.

They also showed him newspaper reports about his abduction and told him they knew about reports that President Bola Tinubu had directed that ₦200 million be paid for his release.

That part is particularly disturbing. It suggests that the kidnappers were closely following news and social media while holding their victims.

Justice Bunza said there were fewer than 20 bandits in the camp. He observed that they cooked, slept and interacted with their families there. He also said they depended on informants who brought them information from surrounding communities.

Despite carrying weapons, he said the bandits were constantly afraid and on alert. At one point, they even warned him to stop coughing because they feared he was trying to alert people to his location.

After receiving the ₦50 million ransom, most of the bandits reportedly left, leaving only two behind to guard him. He later overheard them arguing, with one suggesting that he should be shot.

Around 5pm, he realised he had been left alone.

He removed the covering from his face and escaped on foot until he reached a village, where he eventually got a commercial motorcycle to Bunza.

And despite everything he experienced, Justice Bunza says he will not allow the ordeal to break him: “My kidnapping can never deter me from my work. I swear to Almighty Allah nothing on this earth can change my attitude to work. It will motivate me to double my effort.”

As someone who covers conflict and insecurity, his account gives us more than a survivor's story. It gives a disturbing glimpse into how these kidnapping networks operate, their use of local informants, their ability to monitor information, their targeting of specific individuals and the way they maintain camps close enough to communities to sustain their operations.

This is the kind of information that should be carefully studied by security agencies. Every detail from survivors like Justice Bunza can help build a better understanding of these criminal networks and ultimately save lives.

Most importantly, he made it home alive. After everything he endured, that is something worth acknowledging

Man Sentenced to 13 Years, Public Lashes for Ra**ng 10-Year-Old Girl in Niger State

A Niger State magistrate court in Minna has sentenced Aliyu Bala to 13 years in prison, 20 strokes of the cane in public, and a compensation of N250,000 for ra**ng his neighbour's 10-year-old daughter .

The court found him guilty of the assault after the prosecution presented clear evidence . The judgment was delivered on August 10, 2026, and authorities marched Bala to the Hakimi Palace in Bosso, where the flogging was carried out before community members .

The Director-General of the Niger State Child Rights Agency described this as an unprecedented step, stressing the government's commitment to severe punishment for child sexual offences . The victim's mother had faced pressure to drop the case but chose to pursue justice to hold the accused accountable .
